Summary:
Dave the Potter is a set of poems about a man who was an
artist, poet, and also a slave. Different pieces of pots and dirt meant
something different to Dave. The book is a story told by poems explaining how
Dave would work with his hands day to day and how he would put in the poems
into the pots. At the end of the story the author would tell stories about Dave
and gives Reponses on how people appreciated Dave’s work
How to use in the classroom:
Using the story to
inspire the children I would have them bring a piece of pottery to class but
create their own poems and do a DIY project and have the poem on the piece of
pottery. I would have students write how a hobby they have inspires them to
keep pushing on
